Builds Overview (How To Create Your Own Builds)
Builds in Idleon fall into 3 broad categories that adjust talents, food, star signs, card sets, large alchemy bubbles, equipment, prayers, divinity link and other game mechanics for these objectives.
Combat – AFK Fighting
The build for fighting monsters while AFK to progress through game worlds, obtain monster resources or class experience. When this is your objective optimise the following:
- Assign attack talents on your attack bar
- Accuracy (at least 95%)
- AFK Fighting gains
- Damage (weapon power, main class stat and multikill increases)
- Monster respawn
- Movement speed
- Drop chance (if hunting rare monster drops or cards)
Some of these mechanics are not initially available to players and have their own caps so min-max players can experiment with the AFK Info window to find the best combination as it changes based on your progression and available mechanics.
Combat – Active Fighting
An alterative fighting build that often uses the same talent preset as AFK fighting for when you intend to play your character actively for things like farming crystal monsters for drops or experience, hunting giant monsters or using specific game mechanics that require this gameplay.
Often referred to as “active” gameplay by the community this uses the Auto feature while keeping Idleon open for long periods of time although players don’t need to actively engage with the game. Only one character can be active at a time and to collect drops on the ground players will need to loot them within 1 hour (20mins for coins), have the exclusive Mr Pig pet or purchase the auto-loot feature from the Gem Shop for $5.
Active gameplay will optimise the following based on your goals:
- Assign attack and respawn talents to your attack bar
- Crystal spawn chance
- Class experience gain
- Drop rate
Popular reasons to play actively with different classes currently are below and the majority of these situations only appear from World 4 onwards:
| Class | Active For |
|---|---|
| Crystal Countdown talent which lowers skill experience required to level up skills when killing crystal monsters. | |
| Cranium Cooking to boost alchemy liquid generation with the Raise Dead talent and various area of effect abilities. Can also earn significant money while Cranium Cooking farming but not as much as the Divine Knight. | |
| Orb of Remembrance boosts experience and drop rate which combined with Divine Intervention revive makes them the best active class for farming crystal monster drops and the best money farmer. Divine Knight should farm drops that are within Rare Drop Bags on the monster card information screen. | |
| Spawns Plunderous Mobs which triggers enemy monsters to respawn at a rapid pace while building up permanent account stacks that boost the drop rate of all your characters. | |
| Summon monsters from another dimension to provide a damage bonus to the rest of your account. They are the best at farming monster cards or drops not within Rare Drop bags such as Glass Shards from Sandy Pots in World 2. | |
| This class is based around a reset mechanic known as Wraith Form where players farm bones from monsters for account wide upgrades. | |
| This class is based around a reset mechanic known as Tempest Form where players farm Dust and Medallions from monsters for account wide upgrades. | |
| This class is based around a reset mechanic known as Arcanist Form where players farm Tachyons from monsters for account wide upgrades. |
Skilling Builds
Skilling builds are focused on maximising your skilling gains (Idleon efficiency) for resources, progression or experience in one of the specific world skills. Each Idleon world has 3 skills to boost that are linked to a specific class which provide account buffs to defeat the respective world boss. Optimise for the following when skilling:
- Assign skilling talents to your attack bar (e.g. Big Pick)
- Skill efficiency / power
- AFK Skilling gains
- Multi resource chance
- Skill experience
- Drop chance (if hunting rare skilling resource drops or cards)
From World 3 onwards the majority of your skilling resources come from using the 3D printer mechanic to provide a recurring income of materials.

AWESOME GUIDE THANK YOU SO MUCH BROTHER! The amount of skill resets I’ve wasted is terrifying but as a passionate enjoyer of optimalising my character’s damage I am so grateful for this guide. Thank you for your hard work, you earned yourself a fan and a frequent reader of your guides! : )

Dude!! this guide helps a lot, thank you for that. Just one question: Which would be the best class/classes AFK mode?

Hi Miguel
Glad you found it useful! You have to remember that every character in Idleon has its purpose to your account and so they should all be AFK fighting at some point to gain enough levels and talent points to be useful at other activities (such as skilling).
Generally you’ll find that your Barbarian class is your best AFK character early on as they have some good sources of easy damage boosts (such as the Zow skill) and their weapons are slightly easier to make overall so you can keep them well equipped. Once you build up alchemy and stamps (the main damage boosts for mages) I found both the Shaman and Wizard pretty deadly for a time in my account.
At the super late stages of the game and your account progress though the Bowman subclass is definitely the favourite and currently the strongest because their damage boosts (speed and smithing levels) are uncapped compared to other classes and so can often be pushed further because of this although this takes a lot of effort to reach that point.
This may all change when the next world (World 5) is released though!

This has gotta be the single best resource on IdleOn other than the Wiki. Hopefully someone over there links to this instead of the Companion.
